Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• A working installation of Alpine Linux Latest
• A terminal with root access

Step 1: Install Docker

Hasura is distributed as a Docker container, so the first step is to install Docker on Alpine Linux. To do this, run the following commands in a terminal:

$ apk update
$ apk add docker

This will update the repository and install Docker on your system.

Step 2: Start the Docker service

Now that Docker is installed, we need to start the Docker service. To do this, run the following command:

$ service docker start

This will start the Docker service, which is required for running Hasura.

Step 3: Pull the Hasura image

Next, we need to pull the Hasura image from the Docker hub. To do this, run the following command:

$ docker pull hasura/graphql-engine

This will download the latest version of Hasura from the Docker hub.

Step 4: Run the Hasura container

Once the Hasura image is downloaded, we are ready to run the container. To do this, run the following command:

$ docker run -d -p 8080:8080 hasura/graphql-engine

This will run the container in detached mode and map the container's port 8080 to the host's port 8080. You can use a different port if you prefer.

Step 5: Verify the Hasura installation

Finally, we need to verify that Hasura is installed and running properly. To do this, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/console. If the installation was successful, you should see the Hasura console dashboard.
